Bad
Utterly disastrous medical care. My partner discovered a concerning lump on her lower arm that was painful, especially given her family's cancer history. Anxious, she secured an emergency appointment for 5:30pm. We arrived early at 5:15pm and waited. By 5:45pm, despite an empty waiting room, no doctor had called us. My partner approached reception, and shortly after, Dr Punsisi Burns saw her, with me accompanying her. After a brief three-and-a-half-minute examination where she merely touched the lump, she dismissively declared it wasn't cancer, claiming it was just a skin cyst that would likely be ignored. Her nonchalant attitude was shocking - no further investigation, no blood tests, no substantive advice. Her casual diagnosis that it might disappear or persist was completely unprofessional. Seeking a second opinion, we consulted the neighboring pharmacist who suggested it could potentially be gangrene and advised monitoring. I'm deeply concerned it might be a lymphoma that could develop into cancer if left untreated - a scenario requiring immediate steroid intervention. This surgery consistently demonstrates incompetence, with only a rare few practitioners showing genuine medical competence. The overall standard of service, advice, and treatment is appallingly substandard. I strongly caution anyone against registering here - you're better off consulting online resources or finding alternative medical providers. Having witnessed multiple instances of physicians' apparent ignorance, I'm genuinely questioning their professional qualifications and medical expertise.
